Answer:
Arterial blood gas (ABG) results from a 68-year-old woman with difficulty breathing show:
- Oxygenation (PaO₂): hypoxemia
- pH: acidosis
- PaCO₂: Hypercapnia
- HCO₃⁻: normal
whose interpretation is: <u>respiratory acidosis</u>.
Hypercapnia can produce symptoms such as confusion, drowsiness or lethargy, headache, nausea and vomiting and, in severe states, can cause severe unconsciousness and coma.
Explanation:
Respiratory acidosis is due to a failure in the breathing process that produces <u>hypoventilation</u>, decreasing the partial pressure of oxygen (PaO₂) —hypoxemia— and increasing the partial pressure of CO₂ (PaCO₂), called hypercapnia.
- <u><em>Acidosis</em></u><em> is the result of the accumulation of CO₂ in the body, which is reflected as a decrease in </em><em>pH</em><em> below 7.35, with no change in bicarbonate content.</em>
- <u><em>Hypoxemia</em></u><em> is the decrease of PaO₂ below 60 mmHg.</em>
- <u><em>Hypercapnia</em></u><em> is the increase of PaCO₂ in ABG above 45 mmHg.</em>
- <em>Normal </em><em>bicarbonate</em><em> </em><em>(HCO₃⁻) </em><em>values range from 22 to 28 mEq/L in ABG. This compound can be altered in metabolic acidosis.</em>
<u>Hypercapnia mainly affects the nervous system</u>, producing symptoms that alter the state of consciousness of the affected, also producing headache and even nausea and vomiting.

Answer: Discus immune response to a pathogen through the oral (oral-anus) and respiratory route Discus immune response to a pathogen through the oral (oral-anus) and respiratory route Expert Answer The body is resistant to various pathogens through passive and active immunity.
Explanation: Periodontal pathogens may also present differences in their ability to induce immune responses from the host; thus, we evaluated the effects of various oral bacteria on the expression of AMPs and IL-8 by gingival epithelial cells.

Answer:
it's C (ultrasound)
Explanation:
it's not cochlear implant because cochlear is for your ears
it's not laser light because laser light surgery is used to repair skin
brachytherapy is used for cancer treatment (usually prostate)
electrical impedance tomography is used to form a tomographic image
ultrasound therapy is used to reduce swelling
so it's ultrasound (C)
